GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Δωδεκα ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Μανασσης, οτε εβασιλευσεν? εβασιλευσε δε πεντηκοντα πεντε ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Εφσιβα.	1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.
2 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα τα βδελυγματα των εθνων, τα οποια εξεδιωξεν ο Κυριος απ' εμπροσθεν των υιων Ισραηλ.	2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
3 Και ανωκοδομησε τους υψηλους τοπους, τους οποιους Εζεκιας ο πατηρ αυτου κατεστρεψε? και ανηγειρε θυσιαστηρια εις τον Βααλ και εκαμεν αλσος, καθως εκαμεν Αχααβ ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ? και προσεκυνησε πασαν την στρατιαν του ουρανου και ελατρευσεν αυτα.	3 And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.
4 Και ωκοδομησε θυσιαστηρια εν τω οικω του Κυριου, περι του οποιου ο Κυριος ειπεν, Εν Ιερουσαλημ θελω θεσει το ονομα μου.	4 And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”
5 Και ωκοδομησε θυσιαστηρια εις πασαν την στρατιαν του ουρανου, εντος των δυο αυλων του οικου του Κυριου.	5 And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.
6 Και διεβιβασε τον υιον αυτου δια του πυρος, και προεμαντευε καιρους, και εκαμνεν οιωνισμους, και εσυστησεν ανταποκριτας δαιμονιων και επαοιδους? επραξε πολλα πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, δια να παροργιση αυτον.	6 And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.
7 Και εστησε το γλυπτον του αλσους, το οποιον εκαμεν, εν τω οικω, περι του οποιου ο Κυριος ειπε προς τον Δαβιδ και προς τον Σολομωντα τον υιον αυτου, Εν τω οικω τουτω και εν Ιερουσαλημ, την οποιαν εξελεξα απο πασων των φυλων του Ισραηλ, θελω θεσει το ονομα μου εις τον αιωνα?	7 Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
8 και δεν θελω μετασαλευσει τον ποδα του Ισραηλ απο της γης, την οποιαν εδωκα εις τους πατερας αυτων? εαν μονον προσεξωσι να καμνωσι κατα παντα οσα προσεταξα εις αυτους, και κατα παντα τον νομον τον οποιον ο δουλος μου Μωυσης προσεταξεν εις αυτους.	8 And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”
9 Πλην δεν υπηκουσαν? και επλανησεν αυτους ο Μανασσης, ωστε να πραττωσι πονηροτερα παρα τα εθνη, τα οποια ο Κυριος ηφανισεν απ' εμπροσθεν των υιων του Ισραηλ.	9 Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.
10 Και ελαλησε Κυριος δια χειρος των δουλων αυτου των προφητων, λεγων,	10 And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:
11 Επειδη Μανασσης ο βασιλευς του Ιουδα επραξε τα βδελυγματα ταυτα, πονηροτερα υπερ παντα οσα επραξαν οι Αμορραιοι οι προ αυτου, και εκαμεν ετι τον Ιουδαν να αμαρτηση δια των ειδωλων αυτου,	11 “Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,
12 δια ταυτα ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Ιδου, εγω επιφερω κακον επι την Ιερουσαλημ και επι τον Ιουδαν, ωστε παντος ακουοντος περι αυτου θελουσιν ηχησει αμφοτερα τα ωτα αυτου?	12 because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.
13 και θελω εκτεινει επι την Ιερουσαλημ το σχοινιον της Σαμαρειας και την σταθμην του οικου του Αχααβ? και θελω σπογγισει την Ιερουσαλημ, καθως σπογγιζει τις τρυβλιον και σπογγισας στρεφει ανω κατω?	13 And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.
14 και θελω εγκαταλειψει το υπολοιπον της κληρονομιας μου και παραδωσει αυτους εις την χειρα των εχθρων αυτων? και θελουσιν εισθαι εις διαρπαγην και λεηλασιαν εις παντας τους εχθρους αυτων?	14 And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.
15 διοτι επραξαν πονηρα ενωπιον μου και με παρωργισαν, αφ' ης ημερας οι πατερες αυτων εξηλθον εξ Αιγυπτου, εως της ημερας ταυτης.	15 For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.
16 Και αιμα ετι αθωον εχυσεν ο Μανασσης πολυ σφοδρα, εωσου ενεπλησε την Ιερουσαλημ απ' ακρου εως ακρου? εκτος της αμαρτιας αυτου, δια της οποιας εκαμε τον Ιουδαν να αμαρτηση, πραξας πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου.	16 Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”
17 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Μανασση και παντα οσα εκαμε και η αμαρτια αυτου, την οποιαν ημαρτησε, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ιουδα;	17 Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
18 Εκοιμηθη δε ο Μανασσης μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εταφη εν τω κηπω του οικου αυτου εν τω κηπω Ουζα? και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου Αμων ο υιος αυτου.	18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.
19 Εικοσιδυο ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Αμων οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε δυο ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Μεσουλλεμεθ, θυγατηρ του Αρους απο Ιοτεβα.	19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.
20 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, καθως επραξε Μανασσης ο πατηρ αυτου.	20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.
21 Και περιεπατησεν εις πασας τας οδους, εις τας οποιας περιεπατησεν ο πατηρ αυτου? και ελατρευσε τα ειδωλα, τα οποια ελατρευσεν ο πατηρ αυτου, και προσεκυνησεν αυτα.	21 And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.
22 Και εγκατελιπε Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτου και δεν περιεπατησεν εις την οδον του Κυριου.	22 And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23 Και συνωμοσαν οι δουλοι του Αμων εναντιον αυτου? και εθανατωσαν τον βασιλεα εν τω οικω αυτου.	23 And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.
24 Ο δε λαος της γης εθανατωσε παντας τους συνωμοσαντας κατα του βασιλεως Αμων? και εκαμεν ο λαος της γης Ιωσιαν τον υιον αυτου βασιλεα αντ' αυτου.	24 But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.
25 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Αμων, οσας επραξε, δεν ειναι γεγραμμεναι εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ιουδα;	25 But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
26 Και εθαψαν αυτον εν τω ταφω αυτου, εν τω κηπω Ουζα? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Ιωσιας ο υιος αυτου.	26 And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.
